Grass Is tlie cheapest source of nutrients for milk production. This grass may be grown anywhere In North Carolina where the dairymen will use fertile land for the purpose. It is impossible to bniid a good pasture on poor soil Just as it is Impossible to secure a profitable corn yield on poor soil." Mr. Klmrey says this does not mean to use the more desirable fields of the farm as pasture; but there are many farms with good rolling land which will wash badly when cultivated that may be profitably planted to grass. Good creek bottoms could also be used. The dairy cow will pay a high return per acre for good pasture.

This loss can easily be stopped by culling the flock about once each month during the summer.

To rid birds ot lice tlie sodium fluoride treatment is recommended. Pinches of this material distributed among the feathers is ttie usual procedure. It Is a rather Irritating so precautions should be taken to prevent Its getting into the eyes or widely distributed over cues skin, Mr. Wilson warns. If tlie bird Is dusted over a paper, tlie dust which does not stay on the bird can be saved and used again. A new method to kill lice suggested by the makers of nicotine sulphate Is to paint the upper surfaces ot the roosts with the sulphate, undiluted. It Is'thought that the fumes from this material rising among the feathers ol the roosting chickens will kill the tice and cause them to drop off.
